Excerpts: "Hoping to breathe new life into its animated Looney Tunes franchise and prop up the WB television network's slumping Kids' WB line-up, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. is planning to launch a new cartoon series this fall based on 're-imagined' versions of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tasmanian Devil, Lola Bunny, Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Loonatics"Warner Bros. has created angular, slightly menacing-looking versions of the classic Looney Tunes characters for its new series, dubbed 'Loonatics' and set in the year 2772. Names for the new characters haven't been finalized, but they are likely to be derived from the originals: Buzz Bunny, for example. Each new character retains personality quirks of the original. The new Bugs, for example, will be the natural leader of the Loonatics' spaceship; the new Daffy will remain confident that he is the one who should be in charge. ... "'The new series will have the same classic wit and wisdom, but we have to do it more in line with what kids are talking about today,'says Sander Schwartz, president of Warner Bros. Animation. The plots are action-oriented, filled with chases and fights. Each character possesses a special crime-fighting power. "Sounds familiar? The format echoes a successful show Warner Bros. launched in 2003 on its WB network and Cartoon Network called 'Teen Titans,'about five teenage superheroes. The series, featuring dark, futuristic characters, based on such DC Comics personalities as Robin the Boy Wonder, quickly became a hit. It ranked No. 26 among kids programs for the fourth quarter last year. ... "Given Warner's mixed track record over the past two decades with the Looney Tunes franchise, advertisers may be wary. Steven Spielberg sparked things up in the early 1990s with 'Tiny Toons,' a series in which new characters interacted with the originals. But a 2002 effort, 'Baby Looney Tunes,'has been a dud for the Cartoon Network, where it ended the fourth quarter ranked No. 104 among kids programs." It isn't just advertisers who will be wary. |

I heard it on the news few months ago. (Yeah, MONTHS ago.. people rebelling or what? :huh:)
Okay, maybe if that was a new character it'd be cool and killing and for the "new millenium" or whatever but if you change Bugs ... that's just evil. I mean.. leave bugs as he is! Come on! -_________-;; I even heard the voice (or.. was it? they said it was) and everything was just evil. Man, that sort of bunny would go for Bugs Bunny's evil twisted twin or something.
I mean, when I first saw it I couldn't really see a resemblance. Ugh.. if they change it.. you gotta be kidding me T_______T!!

Erm, sorry to disappoint you Mr. "I'm not stupid", but it IS official. Look up the press release if you don't believe me.
The video you saw was made after the new show Loonatics was announced.
